My latest rant
Sometimes I just need to rant. Be afraid, you are my captive audience.
What’s the buzz? Vuvuzela
I actually watched about 3 minutes of a football game last night and can now understand why everyone’s getting their knickers in a knot over those weird horn things that the South African fans are blowing at the World Cup. I suppose they aren’t the most offensive thing about the whole world of fotty: the

Our neighbours across the ditch took out 8th place. Way to go Aussie! Apparently, the index ranks
MetService, getting it wrong since forever
Okay, so I know I’ve been whinging about the state of the weather here over the past couple of days, what with the thunder, lightning, rain and blustery winds. However, I figured I was entitled to a whinge with all that coming on top of the big ol’ earthquake we had last week and all

Give us this day our daily it-might-not-be-safe-but-you’re-getting-it-anyway fortified bread
So, not long now until we start getting doses of folic acid forced upon us. For those of you who missed this particular gem: from September, bakers here in New Zealand must (by law) add folic acid to bread under the new food standard adopted by New Zealand and Australia. The whole thing was signed
